IOCC - International Orthodox Christian Charities (Lebanon)

IOCC, in the spirit of Christ’s love, offers emergency relief and development programs to those in need worldwide, without discrimination, and strengthens the capacity of the Orthodox Church to so respond. IOCC, the international humanitarian aid and development agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, aims to develop in Orthodox Christians a commitment to philanthropy and global cooperative involvement in the diaconal work of the Orthodox Church.

In Lebanon, IOCC boosts access to health services and helps local people connect and educate each other. Extensive hygiene-awareness campaigns bring together communities for learning and solidarity, and mother-child health is a central focus.
